I am Defecting

I am with you somewhat, but what they have done so far is not impressive part. I don't like all of congratulations that decision makers get through this phase. Any baboon can tank team. We have little to show - certainly not wins. Why don't we say "good job," when the job - improvement is done. Perhaps this does not make me most popular girl at the dance, but bitch that says we win it all next year is 100% . I make metaphor: congratulating Sabres for job done so far is like pre-mature . Not congratulating them is like foreplay. It is like an imaginary, I am coming! While reality is just meh. I should say it is like fantasy, I am coming! I did premature before editing. Unforeseen consequence of tank.

It is very easy. You are silly man to ask in this Google age. Secret is dollop of smetana (sour cream if smetana not available) just before serving. St. Pauli’s Girl – Good beer, without a ton of character. A lot like Heineken without whatever it is, probably yeast, that makes Heineken distinctive. I prefer Heineken, but skunk comes forward more in this. It reminds me of sticky green. High hoppy notes on St. Pauli Girl. Nice label. 6/10. Great Lakes Brewing Dortmund Gold – A bit like hoppier version of Budweiser Black Crown. Too sweet for my taste also. I don’t like caramel. 5/10. Sierra Nevada Flipside – 6.2% - I like it. It’s got a lot of character. Pleasant lingering taste. Sitra, simcoe, and centennial hops it says. Doesn’t taste too heavy. It’s got a late summer early fall feel to it. 8/10. Southern Tier Centennial – 4.9% - I love it. It’s lovely. Like perfume. Very dynamic tasting experience with each sip. It starts smooth and fragrant, then the lemony hops kick in. I could drink a few. Pleasantly dry, and very much approachable. 10/10. Ellicottville Brewing Company Fall Festival Lager – 5.6% - Disgusting. Tastes like being flashed by well costumed transvestite. Initial repulsion fades to a depressing malt finish. Definitely not my style. One of these expensive things that I think I should like, and might act that I like in certain company, but just don’t. 1/10. Saranac Legacy IPA – 6.5% - Pleasant floral, citrusy. I find the flavor tropical. To me it is a bit more complex and approachable than Souther Tier’s famous IPA. I wouldn’t drink it all day, but a glass with breakfast would be most appreciated. 9/10 Ramen Noodles - 0.0% - it seems I have spent all of my money on beer, and I am not terribly hungry, but for 35 cents, I put a package in my pocket just for safe keeping.

Yes, by now, tank crusade has tire itself out of ideas, for sure. This is a no recycling zone for fire coach.

I am doing serious academic survey to benefit humankind. Please answer questions, if you will. (please quote following questions) When did you, if ever, make definite choice to cheer for losing? Did you make definite choice to cheer for loss? Why did you decide to cheer for losing, rather than just be indifferent for time being? Did you ever become an active participant in hoping for losses? What prompted you to become an active participant in hoping for losses? How did hoping for loss effect your life? Would you do it again?

My first TBDrive/SabreSpace post was props to PTR. Still, it would be empty space without SDS. They are good people.

I think you use this word "rebuilding" too liberally, Comrade Vlad Dangerslakov. Even Winnepeg is getting the better end of Murray's signature trade so far. Cleary, we are still deconstructing. Once you admit to yourself that we are deconstructing, things make much more sense, in my charmingly humble, non-aggressive opinion.

Is cathartic to say so, yes? You listen to Conscience, yes? You disobey Serpent, Rambo, yes?... This is us:

So how many NHL players do you think we will get with picks from trades? I think advanced statistics say .45 NHL player, in exchange for 4 NHL players. I am just trying to be realistic. What do you advanced stat experts think?

You hear a collective "Phew!" over the radio, when other team scores. When home team scores it is all manufactured goal horn and song.

Well... I guess you make good point. One hopes for best, but prepares for worst. In this case, one hopes for best, and ensures for worst.

Perhaps you are right. In your defense, you did create a message board to foster discussion. Promo is my homie, noneless. Let him have it Promo!

Are you saying Murray got more than was expected? That it was piece for piece a good transaction? No one is arguing whether he made the team worse for tank. Of course team is worse. To me it seems you are stifling discussion about details of trade.

My friend is accountant. She does taxes. Every tax season, she does not fail to mention certain thresholds for income, where one would increase their take home, by actually making less. Last year, we were on brink of poverty. This year, we do things right, make less, and get big reward. I always want to tell my friend, that it would be better to be outright rich.

I like Promo. You make a good point. Let us just say that today did not exceed expectations. Nor will next season? Nor the season after that? We shall see. I am content. How about these bandwagon tankers? Not so content it seems. They must be missing something. (INTEGRITY, TEE HEE!)

Germany White has been doing Get Out the Tank Campaign, so there is Big Hype. Actual message board activity... not so much. Anna would have been role player in old days. Tonight, she is on first line.

So will we be picking "first" or "last." Where does irony end? What say we trade our draft pick for entire Stanley Cup winning hockey team? Since we are envy of entire NHL, it might make for a difficult decision. We may even finagle pick for trophy, 2015. Parade now?

Is time, but why do you think I steal Smart Phones?

I am sorry OP. I can look up stats and read reports with best. But... predict the future is work of fool.

If that's all it would take, let's step up our game and overtake them next year. As it stands, Buffalo is only third among the major US cities in childhood poverty. That's Hanifin territory. Tank on! Hockey Heaven. #blueprint Do it for Pegula!

I must say танк, that we may be ideologically opposed, but you are like a brother to me. Why must you fight this war? But I admire your bravery. Turn your sword to thine Serpent, And let thysef free. Tee hee, Tee hee, Tee hee.

Sound logic? I like Marner. Skates better, scores better, body is developing slower = higher ceiling. Jack is fully grown already - probably doping. Marner is a late bloomer - natural... dare I say more beautiful. That's why I am hoping to pick third. Where was Datsyuk picked? ;) It could be that teams that do things right way get little gifts from the Hockey Gods. Gifts like Datsyuk and Zetterberg.

Yes, we are the real victims, but they will not take my conscience. Onward skating Sabres to victory! Excelsior!

Goodness me, you are a sarcastic young man! ;)
